Job Description: Senior Engineer – Modeling & Simulation (Individual Contributor)

Location: Trane Technologies, Engineering & Technology Center (ETC), Bangalore

Summary:
The Modeling & Simulation team is seeking a highly skilled and collaborative Senior Engineer – Acoustics to lead advanced predictive modeling efforts. In this role, you will apply state-of-the-art numerical methodologies to solve complex noise and vibration challenges across our diverse product portfolios.

The ideal candidate will have deep technical expertise spanning both vibro-acoustics and aero-acoustics. This role requires a unique balance of rigorous engineering execution alongside a global perspective—focusing on commonizing acoustic methodologies and simulation standards across different regional engineering teams to meet varying regional customer and regulatory requirements.

.

Key Responsibilities

• Advanced Modeling & Simulation: Develop, validate, and execute high-fidelity numerical models to predict and optimize the acoustic performance of HVAC systems, transport refrigeration units, and components (such as compressors, fans, structures, and air handlers).

ü  Aero-Acoustics & Fluid-Structure Interaction: Conduct Computational Aero-Acoustics (CAA) simulations to predict flow-induced noise, fan noise, and turbulence-driven acoustic phenomena.

ü  Vibro-Acoustics & Structural Dynamics: Analyze structural-acoustic coupling, structure-borne noise transmission, and vibration propagation using Finite Element Method (FEM) and Boundary Element Method (BEM) solvers.

ü  Regional Commonization & Standards: Champion efforts to standardize and commonize acoustics simulation methodologies globally. Collaborate with international design centers to harmonize workflows while addressing varying regional regulations and market requirements.

ü  Experimental Correlation: Collaborate closely with physical testing laboratories to design validation tests, analyze dynamic measurement data (sound power, vibration, modal testing), and correlate experimental results with simulation models.

ü  Design Optimization: Partner with product development teams to provide actionable, physics-based design recommendations early in the development cycle to reduce noise and enhance sound quality.

ü  Innovation: Keep abreast of emerging simulation technologies, and drive continuous improvement in simulation capability and speed.

Required Qualifications

              • Master’s degree (M.S./M.Tech) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Acoustics, or a highly related technical discipline.

              • PhD will be a plus.

• 3–5+ years of hands-on industrial experience in acoustics modeling and simulation..
• Knowledge in Acoustics and noise control (specific to HVAC products is desirable).

• Should be able to perform Acoustics (Aero/Vibro) simulations, with emphasis on fan/blowers.
• Good depth in CFD (or) FEA with experience in performing simulations is an added advantage
• Hands-on experience on Acoustics/CFD/FEA tool preferably Actran, ANSYS Mechanical, Fluent, CFX, or Simcenter.
• Theoretical knowledge of Acoustics, Numerical methods, Fluid dynamics and FEA.
• Experience in Acoustics testing is desirable.
• Experience in the HVAC industry is desirable.
• Knowledge of AI/ML, IIOT and digital twin is preferred.
• Strong teamwork, interpersonal, communication, and project management skills required.
• Knowledge of programming languages and proven examples of improving productivity using various scripts.
• Ability to work in a matrix team environment for the common objectives
• Be part of org initiatives and contribute to ensure progressive, diverse and inclusive environment imbibing Trane values and culture.
